Hello Friends,

RECESSION?  Not For Sudatonic™ Infrared Therapy Systems!

With the general slowdown in economic activity leaving us all feeling uneasy, and the word "Recession" being dropped more and more frequently, many of us in the luxury service industry have been holding our breath, hoping our businesses survive.   

Although this new year started off slowly, sales for Sudatonic™ have been increasing steadily, even in these scary economic times.  I think the reason Sudatonic™ Infrared Therapy System is doing so well is that clients are more discriminating now in which treatments to choose, and they repeatedly choose Sudatonic™  when they discover it's many benefits.  Not only does the Sudatonic™ Infrared Therapy System provide healthy detoxification, it also leads to improvements in overall health and well being.

Infrared Heat is becoming more and more popular in spas and wellness centers today, but in 2005 very few knew about this technology when I incorporated it into the Sudatonic™ blanket. We use the same carbon fibre heating element which is used in today's infrared saunas, however unlike a sauna, with Sudatonic™ you are lying down, relaxing with only your body wrapped.

This treatment is wonderful for those who find a sauna too confining and uncomfortable. Another side benefit is that additional treatments can be suggested and performed since the head is exposed.

 For more information on Infrared technology please see the article in this newsletter, "Detox With Infrared" by Donna Dodier and also visit Oprah's website (http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090305-tows-oz-live-longer/6) to view her talk with Dr. Oz regarding this subject.

Even in today's economy the Sudatonic™ Infrared Therapy System is growing in popularity.  We are not spending millions on advertising,yet we're adding new clients daily by word of mouth and the internet.  They are finding us!  I'm proud of the fact that this system is in the forefront of bringing renewed health and well being to clients, while providing a profitable treatment alternative to the spa and beauty industry.

Please feel free to call or e-mail us with any questions you may have.


May you and your clients enjoy a life filled with good health and prosperity.

Our Featured Spas
Local Wellness Center Therapy


 Arlene Morian, the owner of Being Salon in Shelby Township, admits that running a salon and being on her feet all day can be exhausting. More and more Americans are suffering from stress related exhaustion due to lack of coping skills necessary to deal with our day-to-day demands.

In recent "Body + Soul" (March 2009) article Dr. Andrew Weil says that this "tired-wired state" has become a cultural condition. We have no energy, yet we cannot sleep, and we are exhausted.

Morian takes preventative steps to maintain her energy and good health. She says that is the primary reason she gets body wraps at The New You Body Wraps & Wellness Center in Utica.

"I don't know why, but whenever I get a body wrap I sleep better that night and feel a burst of energy for days." says Morian.

Featured on Oprah in March, Dr. Oz discussed the secrets to longevity, which included Far Infrared Sauna Baths. This can be achieved in a Far Infrared Sauna with about 700 calories lost in one hour.

Many local residents are seeing dramatic results with the Far Infrared Heat Wrap exclusively at The New You Body Wraps & Wellness Center, burning up to 2,000 calories in just one session.

There are numerous benefits to a Far Infrared Sauna Bath, including improved circulation, weight loss, metabolic boost, detoxification, and better skin tone. Clients with pain and muscle issues are also seeing results in their pain management with the heat therapy.

The New You Body Wraps & Wellness Center, located in Utica, is dedicated to reshaping lives, one body at a time, with clients ranging in age from 13 to 83. The center offers two unique wraps that tone and tighten the skin, re-shape the body, detox the system and reduce joint pain. Additional services offered include Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Ionic Foot Baths, Facials, Waxing, Botox and Restalyn. SpaFinder gift cards are accepted.

Hear From Our Experts...
SlimWrap by Suddenly Slimmer

 by Shelley Riley

Afti

Residents of the Los Angeles area are excitedly singing the praises of Afsi Naim, owner of Suddenly Slimmer! For the past ten years, they have recognized her ability to help them detoxify their bodies and become healthier and slimmer through the use of mineral body wraps. Afsi has also earned the reputation of Body Wrap Specialist among the Hollywood stars. She has been featured on programs such as Rachael Ray, Ellen Degeneres, Tyra Banks and many others, as well as working behind the scenes helping the stars get  camera ready at the Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globe Awards.


Afsi states she has to give a lot of credit for the results of her body wraps to the added use of the Sudatonic™ Infrared Therapy System™. When used properly prior to applying a mineral body wrap, the client s body is prepared for maximum detoxification and the inch loss results are nearly double that of the body wrap alone. With the help of the Sudatonic System, it s easy to stand out from the crowd and to be able to offer your clients the best possible results.

As an expert in the field of body wraps, Afsi is continuously searching for newer, safer, more effective products to offer her clients. After having some concerns about the quality of the mineral body wrap products she had used in the past, Afsi decided to focus her attention on creating her own product. Earlier this year, her new mineral body wrap solution, SlimWrap was put on the market and is receiving rave reviews from salon owners as well as their clients.

 We are getting reports from salon and spa owners across the country telling us of the increased inch loss results they are getting, along with the noticeable difference in skin tightening and cellulite reduction. Clients are even noticing the difference and asking questions. One salon owner stated a client wanted to know if she was adding some  secret ingredient  because it was the best wrap she had ever had. Another owner said her employees were lining up to get their own SlimWrap after seeing the fantastic results on their clients. The most exciting report has come from a wrap technician who recently lost 65 pounds after having a baby and, after several spot wraps on her stomach, she has lost most of her stretch marks, tightened her loose skin and has a flat tummy once again. It s so satisfying to know that I am able to share a product that I know is manufactured in an FDA approved lab, it is completely safe and pure, and is even more effective than anything previously available,  says Afsi.

As part of her new venture with SlimWrap, Afsi has recently partnered with Spalon Consulting to teach spa and salon owners how to increase their earning potential by adding body wraps to their menu of services. This is a group of women with more than 20 years combined experience in the beauty industry who offer on-site training, consulting and some of the best salon and spa products available. Spalon Consulting takes the guesswork, along with the wasted time and money, out of adding new products or services because they have done the research and testing for you.

If you would like more information about adding SlimWrap to your spa or salon, please visit our website or call with any questions you may have.

May you all be blessed and prosper,

Afsi Naim

LED Photorejuvenation
The Role it Plays in the Industry-The Future Only Gets Brighter
 by Donna Dodier

Glorified celebrities, makeover shows, and all the Doctor 90210's of today unveil the underlying vanity of our society. Sexuality, glitz and glamour drive the trends in the beauty industry. More recently Day Spa owners and Hair Salons are finding the need to jazz up their service menus to cater to this new "Botox and go" world. The driving force behind this trend is the "forever young" mindset of the Baby Boomers. Diversifying your menu will create a renaissance - a new beginning, a new clientele, and a new generation of sales profit. Baby boomers crave non-invasive, anti-aging treatments that are cost effective. It is LED Photorejuvenation with all its glory of luminosity that is lighting the way. LED Photorejuvenation(FDA approved therapy) satisfies many different needs and many different age groups which makes this a winner for a new modern service within the beauty and medical industry.  Make no mistake, by the time you have read this article you will be asking yourself why you're not lighting up your client's life with LED.

What is LED? LED (Light Emitting Diode) Photorejuvenation is a safe and painless, non-invasive FDA approved treatment that utilizes specific visible and invisible wavelengths of light creating many positive responses within the skin. Much like photosynthesis, this light energy creates an abundance of a substance known as ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate), the energy source to our cells that gives it their energy, vitality, and optimum shelf life. Benefits include: Increased vascularity by the formation of new capillaries, significant increase in wound healing with less formation of scar tissue, reduction of edema, pain relief, relaxation of muscles, stimulation of trigger and acupuncture points, helps with nerve function, increased radiance and firmness of skin, increased circulation to muscles, reduced inflammation for acne and rosacea, reduced oil production, promotes collagen and elastin, reduces fine lines, redness, and acne.

This is NASA technology and the US Library of Medicine boasts many positive studies on the amazing results of RED and Infrared Diodes. The navy Seals utilize this modality for post training injuries, veterinary medicine takes advantage it its healing mechanisms on many animals from horses to dogs/cats and even dolphins!  Want to offer an excellent alternative to the harsh drugs for acne! The FDA approved Light therapy for a non-invasive, safe and painless alternative for acne. See significant results only after a few treatments!

A company called QUASAR is known for having "power conscious, price conscious" LED devices with 10 year warranties. They  are making quite a name for themselves.  In this economy therapists cannot afford the higher priced devices that offer the very same technology jacked up for higher profit margins!  Media raves in DAY SPA Magazine, Vogue, NY Times, Ocean Drive, Quasar offers the most choices in LED devices such as the handy and effective portable Pro devices RED and Blue (acne), Tri-panels for a 5 minute whole face and neck treatment that is "hands off,"   and the newly launched  Anti-Aging Capsule of Youth, the Ferrari of LED devices. With super luminous diodes all housed in a tanning- bed style capsule this is the crème de la crème and the first of its kind. It is the unique cutting edge breakthrough technology that med spas, tan spas, dermatologists, and day spas should not miss since it is geared specifically for your industry! This anti-aging capsule of youth boasts 6144 super luminous diodes topside and bottom making this glistening fountain of youth undeniably glamorous in its application. (Typical treatment cost is $95-$150)  Total body and skin rejuvenation with cutting edge NASA technology. With NASA's studies on accelerated wound healing and collagen synthesis, this would be a great treatment to expedite the healing of post surgery wounds and bruises as well as offering a skin enhancing treatment, acne on the face, neck, chest and back! If you do not offer LED yet, do know it is the wave of the future for the industry!!!!

SUDATONIC™ IN THE PRESS

donnaspage3
Excerpt from Article by Donna Dodier
Donna Dodier's background involves Skincare/ Esthetics in New England and Florida, frequent guest on Health Talk Radio, 20 years of researching alternatives and holistic medicine, nutrition, lectures on woman's health concerns, anti-aging solutions.

Cleansing he body is so vitally important for health, wellness and mental clarity, it cannot be overstressed. If we acquired the diets people followed in the 1800's, which consisted of fresh meat with no hormones or antibiotics, pesticide free vegetables and fruits, raw foods with no preservatives or chemicals, no plastics, no pollution in the air, no hydrogenated junk foods and no artificial anything, we would most definitely be a healthier society with lower cancer and disease rates. Yes, people may have died from illnesses that had no cure at the time, but they were probably not nearly as toxic as we are today.

Toxins-move out!
Infrared heat blankets and saunas are a great addition to spas and wellness centers for weight loss, pain relief, detoxification and total body relaxation. As a matter of fact, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of infrared light therapy for pain relief and muscle aches in 1998. The reason that it is so productive for detoxification is the same reason that it functions so well for pain relief and circulation - oxygen and improved blood flow nourish and cleanse the body, as well as enhance the metabolism.

Deep Cleansing
There are various infrared treatment options out there. Some spas offer the "sit down" style of infrared saunas where it is a little difficult to relax because of the hard surface and lack of position friendliness. With the horizontal thermal sudation method you can lie down, relax, close your eyes and drift off. Other treatments can be performed while you are in the horizontal cozy heat heaven device - facials, facial message, reflexology, etc. which translates into an improved profit center and a multi-faceted treatment option without the need for wet rooms or showers.

Detox and Stress Release
The Sudatonic™ System (thermal sudation) is an intense detox method that consists of various steps. It is the preferred type of infrared treatment at my day spa. The process involves a body composition test, a weigh in and the application of proprietary blends of creams and essential oils. Thee formulations help break down cellulite, fa and toxins by forcing the action of seating to use the fat as energy. I charge $125 for a single treatment and a prepaid discount for a series of treatments.

After each treatment the client is weighed again and gets another body composition reading. I always see a reduction. With repeated treatments a client can obtain desirable results both physically and mentally. The detox and cleansing are intense and the effects are amazing. There are many benefits other than the skin's softer texture: pain relief, reduced cellulite (the movement of toxins and excess water, circulation and blood flow gets energy to the sluggish areas), arthritic joint relief, stress relief, cleansing of the circulatory system and a healthy glow. I have clients who are addicted to the feeling of endorphins flowing throughout their body all day long. The nice feature about the Sudatonic™ System is that it can be easily stowed away under a massage or facial table, which is ideal for those with limited space.

Essential for Weight Loss
I explain to my clients that if they are trying to lose weight, he body needs to rid itself of excess toxins. The two go hand in hand. Many experts on the subject will state that detoxification is a pre-requisite to weight loss. Although almost everyone is a candidate for the treatment, a health history and consent form is advisable for any and all contraindications. There are treatment guidelines as well.

In closing, using Sudatonic's™ infrared technology can be very satisfying for the client and extremely profitable for your spa. Consumers are more and more health conscious and the baby boomer market wants "feel good, look good" treatments. It is satisfying to the therapist to offer Sudatonic's™ infrared technology because of the health benefits. The Sudatonic™ System can boost sales while providing a remarkable means to healthy detoxification, which in itself leads to improved health and wellbeing.
